Siphon King

Dydra 2805

A concept I'm playing around a bit.

I was thinking how to best put Bribery in a deck ... and then I saw it is a run ... as well as Code Siphon ... so I was like " Alright, Ken it is"

I'll just briefly mention the cards that need some discussion.

3x Oracle May, 3x Notoriety ....

You will be hitting fast and running fast .... kuz u are THE EXPRESS ... Between Bribery, Feint and Inside Jobs ... you will manage to score a Notoriety or two ... you just need to draw them :)

Obviously Oracle May here can be really risky (considering we have no recursion), that's why I will like to see some #Motivation from her .... but I think I will stick to playing 3 copies of her, since we are running 0 other connection to go for a "Hostage"

Obviously if we need to free up influence for something, might put 2-3x Hostage to hit her with same rate, but without the 2 influence required.

Cards to consider for testing:

1) Motivation

2) Clone chip

3) Some Console

Any suggestions?

I would swap prepaid with public terminals, passport with peacock, 1 more fairie, 1 cerebrus killer instead of ninja, take out oracle mays and 1 femme. Code siphon can be ditched for retrieval run. And if u want so much of running then might as well get security testing to help around the jinteki deck. If u still have card slot left then stick in decoy to prevent tag damage

yeah, this is a rough draft :) I'm also thinking about going for Femme, so you can actually abuse the Code Siphon.

Otherwise, looking at my events, public terminal does make sense, since my non=run events are Express Delivery, Notoriety and Emergency shutdown .... which all cost 1 or 0

This reminds me ... how did I miss the Sure Gambles?

Maybe get some wire tap or lawyers to clean the tags from the Siphons .... also yes the idea was to put passport, not peacock ... don't know how I mixed those 2 :)

If you want a console, Doppelgänger or Desperado both seem useful. You're running like mad anyway. Might as well either get credits or more runs out of it.... It also makes me really nervous that you only have 1 barrier breaker. If that gets trashed by Oracle May or some other twist of fate, it seems like you're in trouble. A clone chip would solve that if you go 1 Oracle May and 2 Hostage instead. Hostage takes a click, but I feel like that's worth the sacrifice. I know that I would find it hard to use Oracle until I had my Corroder in hand without a Clone Chip. And sure, both Clone and Corroder could get trashed, but then you just shrug, and use cards to get around it....

The other upside to 2x Hostage - they're events. Shifts your deck from 29 events/17 other to 31 events/15 other. Which is good for using May.

Or (last comment I swear) find another 2 influence somewhere and toss in Comet for even more actions. Between Early Bird and Comet or Doppelgänger you're looking at a possible 6 run turn, or 2 runs + 4 clicks.
